Vicki Loichinger 444 Posted November 7, 2012 Well I am back home. The surgeon didn't feel comfortable doing the surgery today because my blood sugar was high. I know he is being cautious and a good doctor but I sure am disappointed. It is rescheduled for Dec.5 and I am supposed to somehow get my blood sugars down. So another round of reg diet then two weeks pre op diet and a lot more insulin. Trying to tell myself things happen for a reason and God is in control. At least I got a valium out of the deal and and IV in and out . And a mega dose of tylenol IV. even had my legs pumped for a while. We will just call this a practice run 2 Lori Rehrer Himes and Cheryl Barfoot reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vicki Loichinger 444 Posted November 7, 2012 It was 275 today and my ai c last wednesday was 9 so it was a combination of both. I told them I hadn't taken any insulin since monday because of being on Clear Liquids yesterday, but he just felt like healing or having a leak could be a big problem with the numbers that high for a while. SO I have a month to get them under better control. Which is sooo sooo hard. My sugar can go up on Air. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vicki Loichinger 444 Posted November 7, 2012 thank you everybody, I am doing ok. I am thinking about having a few last meals this time. I had been being so good for so long, really since May and lost 24 pounds, But I just might have to have a couple of favorites I didn't think I would get for a long long time. I won't go crazy. 1 ladyspl reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
